Just ordered a t-shirts of an F-101 VooDoo Fighter Jet and I’m broke 22 Days Before Christmas, See on my ninth birthday in 1964 my Dad brought me to work with him at Niagara Falls Air Force Base (he was civil service shipping and receiving) I was bouncing on a trampoline in the Shipping Warehouse and Dad said I’m having too much fun and I need to go outside and run around but just don’t get run over by a Fighter Jet. So I went to the Base Gym and I’m working out on the equipment when this guy walks in and asked me if I was an Air Force Brat I replied No My Dad works Civil Service at Shipping and Receiving. He asked me my Dad’s name and I told him “Walt Orzolick” He replied I know him, then he asked me if I wanted to go for a ride with Him I asked him where was he going to take me ? He replied that he had to go on a mission, he was a pilot and he was going to take me for a ride in his F-101 VooDoo Fighter Jet!!!! My eyes popped out of my head and said Sure I would Love to Next thing I know he has his crew get me the smaller flight suit they could find and had me put it on and after they folded up the pants legs and arm sleeves they helped me up the ladder into the rear Navigator Seat and strapped me in and put the Flight Helmet and Oxygen Mask On me and off he took me. I’ll never ever Forget that Birthday Gift, well years later Easter 1980 I’m working at Niagara University I’m on the 8th Floor Of OSHA Dormitory and there were two large explosions and the Dorm Building shook real bad to the point I could see daylight between the cement blocks of the outside walls, my bosses drove to the smoke and flames and when they returned they were both white as ghost, saying the Air Force Police showed up and ordered them out of the area and to go back to work, they told us that both the pilot and navigator were in the trees and they were both dead and thier helmets were away from the bodies with thier heads still in the helmets. It was reported that one of the Base’s Two F-101 VooDoo Fighter Jets had Problems and the pilot and navigator stayed with the jet to prevent it from crashing in a populated area and both were decapitated and Died. Guess I’ll never know if it was the guy that took me for that ride some 16 years ago. RIP too Both of You. And if it was the same Jet I got to go for that Epic Ride so Long Ago Thank You AMEN Then in the Early 1990’s My Kid Brother was Stationed at Wright-Patterson Air Base and My Dad & I went there to visit him and his Family and every time we went to the Air Force Museum (been there Three Times) and every time there was more and more to See, Yes I got to See a ME-262 and all kinds of Historical Planes and Jets and Experimental Space Crafts It’s a Must Go To Place for Sure !!!! In my area at Niagara Falls International Air Port is a small Airplane Museum I’m looking for some things to bring there to put on display, from the Days my dad worked at NiagaraFalls AirForce Base, Pictures and WWII Equipment and the Training Book My Dad had to go to Aberdeen Proving Grounds to learn how to Packup and Ship Out the Nuclear War Heads for the Missile Base That was There in the 1950’s & 1960’s Yup Dear Old Dad Had Shipped Them Off the Base To an Unknown Location RIP Dad and Thank You for Being the Best Dad I could have ever known
Who needs regular TV, when people like Bismark produce such interesting and compelling historical documentaries. Better sourced, and more immediate than the dross the media produce.
Bismarck, I think you will be impressed by the condition of the Me 262, M 163 and Bf109 held in the Australian War Memorial. They are unique in that they are in original condition. This is particularly evident with the 109, which still has the grease hand marks from the mechanics who must of worked on it before capture. Thanks so much for these videos mate. They are amazing, just like your passion for your topic.
My great uncle was Alfred Ambs, a Jet ace during WW2 in JG7. I love learning about the jet he flew, it’s just amazing to learn about this part of history, which was a major milestone. Also, I had a friend visit this museum just a few weeks ago, which I find a funny coincidence, love the video dude!
@@MilitaryAviationHistory The first kill wasn't a Mosquito, it was hit and the pilot believed it went down, but it didn't it evaded in cloud cover and made it back to base. The first Me 262 kill was a B-17.
It always amazed me that they were able to get these things in the air at all considering how bleeding edge the engine technology was at the time. As strapped as Germany was for resources (especially some of the more exotic ones required for the engines), these aircraft were miracles of German Engineering. And slave labor, so there's that angle too. :/ Thanks for the awesome video, looking forward to part 2!
@@williamkeith8944 No. I wouldn't use a blade that started bleeding all by itself. Magicians use such things but then the blade is dull and can be pushed inside while it squirts ketchup.
Excellent. Thanks for addressing the myth that Hitler single handedly delayed the 262. Nice video work, we could really see a lot of details, like the wooden rocket racks.
Um, the first German jet flew three weeks before the start of WWII. Yet the first German jet would not be flown in combat until 1944....some 39 months later. Because, the German industrial machine was medieval in nature under Hitler. Forced to compete against one another for military contracts doled out by the Nazi regime. Such are the failures of a totalitarian state.
Your enthusiasm in your telling of the 262's story is infectious. I am so happy you are comprehensive but efficient in your videos. Putting those tripe 44 minute myth peddling "docs" to shame. In just 23 and a half minutes of contextualization of information and myth busting. Simply another fantastic video Bis, I will be watching Part 2 soon during lunch. I very much look forward to it.
I want to add a little data on the ME-262 (Wilma) that had the the Rheinmetall Bordkanone 5 ( or just BK-5 ) 50 mm autocannon . According to the book American Raiders it was captured after the war by Watson's Whizzers and was Col. Watson's favorite plane. He considered it his personal ride. German civilian pilot Willie Hoffman, who was helping train the American pilots, was ferrying the plane when an engine disintegrated and Hoffman had to bail out ( he was injured and spent weeks in a hospital). Col. Watson was always worried about possible sabotage so he mixed up when German and American pilots would fly each plane. Despite this sabotage was at first suspected but an American mechanic admitted that he failed to do a proper inspection of the engine and turbine blades prior to the flight. The cannon was recovered and resides in the museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton OH to this day. Hoffman was later grabbed by the Russians and spent 10 years as their 'guest' until he was allowed to return to his family in what became West Germany.
Nicely done. It's interesting that they did initially planned to put speed brakes on the plane. I was saying just the other day how much it would have benefited from having them, but did not realize that they had planned on putting them on at some point initially.
Ich bewurdere deine videos! Super Arbeit und du bist sehr sehr sympathisch. Also ich schau deine videos jetzt schon recht lange aber jetzt wollte ich mal meinen Respekt aussprechen. Die ME 262 in Unterschleisheim schau ich mir jedes mal wenn ich da bin minimum 10min an😅
This was superb. Subscribed. Particularly liked the contextual information concerning the development of the jet engines and the way it affected deployment of the aircraft. I had long suspected that there was a lot more than Hitlers insistence on the aircraft being a bomber to blame for the plane not being deployed sooner, because I had read about how the project started with BMW engines originally being proposed before, and felt that the switch in engines halfway through development would have had just as much to do with holding the project up. Terrific video, thanks again.
Would that then mean that he would be Plane Jesus? After all, Ian of Forgotten Weapons is Gun Jesus, the Chieftain is Tank Jesus, so by that reasoning, Bismark should be Plane Jesus, not to be confused with just plain Jesus.😃
I have to say the production quality of your filming is documentary level, The camera work, cutting, music (yes he has music now) and dialogue is excellent. It's brilliant to see the level of dedication you are putting into it. I hope that this can start to be recognised by a wider audience, as you truly deserve it.
The enthusiasm you have throughout the video is fantastic, and each video gets even better! On the ME262, such a great aircraft, but it's crazy that it actually flew... Are there any reports from pilots who flew it? What were their thoughts, especially in comparison with the normal piston aircraft?
One of the fastest 23 minutes I’ve had this week! Such a vivid command of the English language and cutting accent of the German dialect in itself is interesting. You have such a vast knowledge and enthusiasm for history and aviation it is incomprehensible your videos could be anything but fascinating. Thank you for your skillful narration and aviation historical intellect. Bravo! From NY, a third generation American with ancestral roots from Germany, Kevin.
What a priceless gem! A shame that the conservation techniques weren't as protective as they might have been but as you say, the context of this historic a/c is being highlighted. A very insightful video, looking fwd to pt 2, thanks.
Another awesome video Bismarck! Learnt so much from it, thank you. Such a amazing thought that nations had blueprints for jet engines prior to WW2 but failed to make do with them anytime soon.
Such a great intro. I'm glad your videos have continuously gotten better. The info you share is really good and more importantly, you deserve to make awesome videos.
Yo Bismarck, this was an awesome video, good job man. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. You have a future doing this, for sure. I can't wait for part two!
You said it... “of both historical and technological significance.” So glad to see that something developed and produced for the German war effort of WWII was not destroyed like so many other things of that time simply because it was made by the Nazis.
I've visited the museum at Schleissheim which started as a much needed over-flow for The Deutsche Museum and now has taken everything. It's also at an airfield site whereas The D.Museum is city centre, München The ME 262 was there and a delight to see AND touch. The story we got was not that he defected to Switzerland but took off without command during a sudden skirmish only to find very quickly that he was flying a glider.. She hadn't been refuelled so he had to make an emergency put down over Switzerland. The only strip he could find had American troops present. That was the end of his career and the ME262.
Thanks for setting a few things straight about this aircraft. Eric Melrose ‘Winkle’ Brown, who flew 487 different aircraft types, said that the Me-262 was one of the finest aircraft that he had ever flown, but that he would not have liked to fly one in combat.
One of the big advantages with the 262 is that it could use poor quality fuel unlike high performance engines used in fighter aircraft which required high octane fuels.
I did not know about the 2-1943 notice that any fighter had to be able to carry bombs. That is quite a big deal when looking at the development and deployment of the 262. This is the kind of research I like where it shifts the view from the usual assumptions towards new insights. Excellent video and thanks for sharing this info on this beautiful jet!
Wait a minute!! It turns out it didn't actually down that Mosquito PR. It did cripple it and it was destroyed but they landed, survived and saved the reconnaissance photos. If it's the same one you're talking about.
@@MilitaryAviationHistory Oh it could engage it, yes. And they broke it evading the 262. They blew out a hatch which crippled the tail. No idea what would happen Vs an armed Mosquito. Probably who sees and shoots first. I've no idea how the turn rates compared, jets aside, 4000+hp and big wings count for a lot. Could anything match the altitude of the PR mosquitoes apart from the 262? Outside of zoom climbing anyway.
When I was a kit I built numerous model kits of the ME 262 and always thought it a lovely design so great to hear some real history of this aircraft. When i first saw the poster frame for this video on you Tube my first impression was of USS Voyager so perhaps the German influence on American space travel goes deeper than we think!
Interesting video. I love plane history, and the Messerschmitt Me 262 has an interesting story behind it. Because yes, while the jet had mixed results as a fighter-bomber, it was an amazing machine as a bomber interceptor for its time. But yes, the biggest problem the Messerschmitt had, is nobody had flown a jet fighter before in its time, because there was no pressurized cabin in early prototypes, which needed a nose propeller if turbines failed in prototype flights. Furthermore, the Messershmitt's final developments came too late to stop the Allied advance, though a fearsome interceptor against Allied bombers during that time. So overall, I'd agree the Me-262 was a pioneer to the modern jet fighter today, and we wouldn't get to that point without learned the success and failures of this interesting jet for its time.
Folks you should come and see our original ME262 2-seater nightfighter at the Museum of Military History in Johannesburg, South Africa. Getting in is so cheap it's practically free and during the week you'll probably be one of 3 people in there. But it's a wonderful museum with some beautiful aircraft from WW2. I'm not affiliated. Just astonished that so few people come to see those amazing exhibits.
The 262 was hampered by engines that were prone to fail. Usually a fighter pilot would increase or decrease the throttle when making different combat maneuvers. Try that on the 262, and the engine turbine would shatter. The problem was Germany's inability to get hold of the proper metals needed to make the turbine reliable enough to stand the stress of changes of throttle speed made during air combat. This was one reason why they were so vulnerable during the landing phase, and Allied fighters learned to track the 262'S back to their airfields and hit them when they were throttled down for landing.
I saw the one at the Pensacola naval air museum(fantastic museum btw). I was struck by the small size compared to more modern jet fighters. Really put in to perspective for me how large the F-4 and F-14 are.
The National Museum of the USAF in Dayton Ohio has a 5cm gun for the Me262 on display next to the Me262 they have on display. It's always impressive seeing how big that darn gun is.
While I previously thought the Swiss ME-109’s was my favourite, now I think this is. Good job! Unfortunately we used to think‘restoring’ was the way to go, now many realize the original paint & body is best.
6:00 Aerodynamically not bad. Airflow on the upper and lower wing surface are not even. It is always better to keep a clean upper surface. These guys understood this ! Nowadays the engines are even mounted on pylons !
And the Swiss took a look at it and decided that it was already too complicated and if they were to build their own version it would end up being even more complicated to the point of being too complicated, even by Swiss standards.
I wonder why all the Aircraft manufacturers didnt produce in Switzerland or Austra. Places which either are neutral or simply surrounded by mountains making any bombing almost impossible if hidden properly.
I love this series but I keep getting distracted by the kids in the background. I took a class in music editing and feel like you could either apply EQ settings to mute those high pitched noises, or use directional mics placed away from you to record the background noice and use active noice cancelling to get rid of it. I know the second one has problems with extra equipment and noise, but I feel like more work towards cancelling the unpredictable background noice would be really worth it.
Hallo Bismarck, There is a very unique ME262 in Johannesburg, South Africa. It's the only 2 seater night fighter in the world. I was told they only built 18. If you ever get there it would be very interesting. They also have a ME109 and excellent condition FockeWulf 190.
it is not banned in german museums if being put in context correctly. But when these planes were restored in the 80s they did not want to tell the story of the nazis but have them as technological icons which is a no go today of course. I'm sure they'll do something about this in the upcoming exhibition of those planes in Munich center ;)
Bismarck. Wonderful two part video. You could have been a flight instructor on this aircraft; your walk around and cockpit checkout are professional. I have a question. Years ago read that toward the end the very end due to resource scarcity, some panels in the fuselage and wings were very thin sheet steel rather than aluminum. Any truth to that? Also had occasion to ask Chuck Yeager once how he got his Me262; he said he noticed it as his was hedgehopping back from escorting a B-17 raid. It was entering the pattern for its airfield. He said he got behind it while the pilot was obviously engaged in landing, and shot it down almost on the runway. The resultant flak from the airfield defense was fierce. Keep up the great work; look forward to your videos, Tschuss!
I saw the Me262 at the US air force Museum at WPAFB (near Dayton OH). My father's fighter squadron (52nd Fighter squadron) had a reunion there when I was at Wright Patterson. At the ME262 Several of the group recounted ( My Father, and Freddy Ohr, among them) encountering 3 ME262's on a bomber escort mission. the shot them down or retreated as they were so vastly outnumbered by P51s that they could not gain advantage. All the members of the fighter squadron agreed if they would have had enough Me262s they would have annihilated the escort and the bombers, but they were shot down like a jaguar being defeated by a school o piranha.
The ones that did get to the bombers were quite successful, the explosive cannons absolutely destroyed and as long as the pilot wouldn't try to turn fight, was almost invulnerable
@1:21. "While the Messerschmitt Me 262 was not the first jet aircraft it was the first to be fielded and used in combat in significant numbers". I like the narrator in the video he's very articulate and careful of what facts he' says . Lots of historians will say it was the first jet Aircraft then the British and Americans will claim they had jet aircraft too...The Germans were the first to actually fielded it in combat.
Thanks for sharing this video on one of my favorite airplanes and you did a great job! Looking forward to see your next post and by the way I just subscribed! Great....
Thank you for your concise and interesting presentation. The ME262 could have been a game changer. So much technology emerged from Germany in that era. They were miniaturizing electrical circuits way before anyone ie. pencil tubes etc. There is always 2 versions of history. What they tell you and what really happened. I have many questions to ask you Herr Bismarck. I'm glad I found this channel. Ich liebe. Guten tag und sow gut.
Chuck Yeager is a beast and his Twitter account is pretty cool. He talked about shooting down some FW-190's making him a double ace. He also shot down a Me 262 the first time he saw one.

*This is to me the one of the best Channels about Aviation History*
get addicted ;D
Great commentary. Sehr gut mein fruend.
Excellent video!!!! Great to see someone so young passionate about history and flying!!! Nice job!,,
A fantastic video as always, cant wait for pt 2. Glad to see a video on what's probably my 2nd favorite aircraft (first being the Ju87g).
dude youre too good for youtube you should be on tv documentaries
For me the leap between the barely flyable initial experimental jets and this incredibly deadly forward thinking craft is somewhat unbelievable.
I was at this museum some 6 years ago and saw this plane in the workshop disassembled. Very satisfying visit indeed.
Wow, what a unique look on this bird! I love it!
I've visited the museum at Schleissheim which started as a much needed over-flow for The Deutsche Museum and now has taken everything. It's also at an airfield site whereas The D.Museum is city centre, München
The ME 262 was there and a delight to see AND touch.
The story we got was not that he defected to Switzerland but took off without command during a sudden skirmish only to find very quickly that he was flying a glider..
She hadn't been refuelled so he had to make an emergency put down over Switzerland. The only strip he could find had American troops present.
That was the end of his career and the ME262.
Thanks for setting a few things straight about this aircraft. Eric Melrose ‘Winkle’ Brown, who flew 487 different aircraft types, said that the Me-262 was one of the finest aircraft that he had ever flown, but that he would not have liked to fly one in combat.
Still an iconic, majestic shape ... this shark or triangle like fuselage in the front and wide body and wings.
The 262 styling is the E Type Jaguar of aircraft , just simply beautiful in its simplicity , the shark of the skies .
Oh, i was just there last week.
One of the big advantages with the 262 is that it could use poor quality fuel unlike high performance engines used in fighter aircraft which required high octane fuels.
Amazingly informative. You're good. Real good.
I did not know about the 2-1943 notice that any fighter had to be able to carry bombs. That is quite a big deal when looking at the development and deployment of the 262.
This is the kind of research I like where it shifts the view from the usual assumptions towards new insights.
Excellent video and thanks for sharing this info on this beautiful jet!
Bro that intro gave me chills, nicely done!
This man right here deserves way more views and subscribers💯
Wait a minute!!
It turns out it didn't actually down that Mosquito PR.
It did cripple it and it was destroyed but they landed, survived and saved the reconnaissance photos.
If it's the same one you're talking about.
Germans thought they had shot it down. That is what matters,they now believed they had a plane that could reliably engage the Mossie.
@@MilitaryAviationHistory
Oh it could engage it, yes.
And they broke it evading the 262.
They blew out a hatch which crippled the tail.
No idea what would happen Vs an armed Mosquito.
Probably who sees and shoots first.
I've no idea how the turn rates compared, jets aside, 4000+hp and big wings count for a lot.
Could anything match the altitude of the PR mosquitoes apart from the 262? Outside of zoom climbing anyway.
Absolutely love your vids! Keep up the good work mate :)
When I was a kit I built numerous model kits of the ME 262 and always thought it a lovely design so great to hear some real history of this aircraft. When i first saw the poster frame for this video on you Tube my first impression was of USS Voyager so perhaps the German influence on American space travel goes deeper than we think!
Interesting video. I love plane history, and the Messerschmitt Me 262 has an interesting story behind it. Because yes, while the jet had mixed results as a fighter-bomber, it was an amazing machine as a bomber interceptor for its time. But yes, the biggest problem the Messerschmitt had, is nobody had flown a jet fighter before in its time, because there was no pressurized cabin in early prototypes, which needed a nose propeller if turbines failed in prototype flights. Furthermore, the Messershmitt's final developments came too late to stop the Allied advance, though a fearsome interceptor against Allied bombers during that time. So overall, I'd agree the Me-262 was a pioneer to the modern jet fighter today, and we wouldn't get to that point without learned the success and failures of this interesting jet for its time.
Folks you should come and see our original ME262 2-seater nightfighter at the Museum of Military History in Johannesburg, South Africa. Getting in is so cheap it's practically free and during the week you'll probably be one of 3 people in there. But it's a wonderful museum with some beautiful aircraft from WW2. I'm not affiliated. Just astonished that so few people come to see those amazing exhibits.
@Tim Webb It's not even in the top 50.
@Tim Webb Johannesburg is literally less dangerous than St. Louis or New Orleans. So...
@Tim Webb Oh, I see you've bought the absurd white genocide bullshit myth. So I'm not dealing with a person who has any respect of facts.
Hey, good for you improving on your look and production. This looks top notch professional
Fantastic video. Great work.
This channel tickles the aviation-nerd center in my medulla oblongata.
Good stuff! That’s a great museum and I was quite surprised to see the Me262 sitting there when I visited.
The 262 was hampered by engines that were prone to fail. Usually a fighter pilot would increase or decrease the throttle when making different combat maneuvers. Try that on the 262, and the engine turbine would shatter. The problem was Germany's inability to get hold of the proper metals needed to make the turbine reliable enough to stand the stress of changes of throttle speed made during air combat. This was one reason why they were so vulnerable during the landing phase, and Allied fighters learned to track the 262'S back to their airfields and hit them when they were throttled down for landing.
I absolutely love this plane n why I am happy that a couple of new ones were built here in the States..
I see Bismark I click like, I see the 262 I go to change my underwear
Excellent presentation. Thanks.
I saw the one at the Pensacola naval air museum(fantastic museum btw). I was struck by the small size compared to more modern jet fighters. Really put in to perspective for me how large the F-4 and F-14 are.
The National Museum of the USAF in Dayton Ohio has a 5cm gun for the Me262 on display next to the Me262 they have on display. It's always impressive seeing how big that darn gun is.
While I previously thought the Swiss ME-109’s was my favourite, now I think this is. Good job! Unfortunately we used to think‘restoring’ was the way to go, now many realize the original paint & body is best.
Excellent History on Development of this great aircraft.
I saw that ME262 when I was stationed in Munich, they also had a Doriner Arrow, at the time.
*OMG!!!* The ME 262 is my favorite plane! I love German WWII jets!
6:00 Aerodynamically not bad. Airflow on the upper and lower wing surface are not even.
It is always better to keep a clean upper surface. These guys understood this !
Nowadays the engines are even mounted on pylons !
Love your videos!
How Ironic it landed in Switzerland. That was a marvel of engineering.
And the Swiss took a look at it and decided that it was already too complicated and if they were to build their own version it would end up being even more complicated to the point of being too complicated, even by Swiss standards.
You finally made it to Schleißheim, awesome! Many other great videos to come, I assume? I only was there myself a couple months ago.
I wonder why all the Aircraft manufacturers didnt produce in Switzerland or Austra. Places which either are neutral or simply surrounded by mountains making any bombing almost impossible if hidden properly.
I love this series but I keep getting distracted by the kids in the background. I took a class in music editing and feel like you could either apply EQ settings to mute those high pitched noises, or use directional mics placed away from you to record the background noice and use active noice cancelling to get rid of it. I know the second one has problems with extra equipment and noise, but I feel like more work towards cancelling the unpredictable background noice would be really worth it.
Excellent video. Thank you 👍
Hallo Bismarck, There is a very unique ME262 in Johannesburg, South Africa. It's the only 2 seater night fighter in the world. I was told they only built 18. If you ever get there it would be very interesting. They also have a ME109 and excellent condition FockeWulf 190.
Your intro starts my google assistant at the end of the intro and guess what it Searches ?
DJ Torben
the jet turbine
So Bernard is right above a floor of you and shooting another video!!
Question: Is it true that the Me 262 was first put in service in Klagenfurt, Austria?
sheesh, those videos do not belong in youtube, value is way to good for that.
Enjoyd it, awesome work
Awesome Bismark. More, more!
Eh, why did they remove the Swatstika on all the german aircraft in that museum? its a museum....
it is not banned in german museums if being put in context correctly. But when these planes were restored in the 80s they did not want to tell the story of the nazis but have them as technological icons which is a no go today of course. I'm sure they'll do something about this in the upcoming exhibition of those planes in Munich center ;)
Bismarck. Wonderful two part video. You could have been a flight instructor on this aircraft; your walk around and cockpit checkout are professional.
I have a question. Years ago read that toward the end the very end due to resource scarcity, some panels in the fuselage and wings were very thin sheet steel rather than aluminum. Any truth to that?
Also had occasion to ask Chuck Yeager once how he got his Me262; he said he noticed it as his was hedgehopping back from escorting a B-17 raid. It was entering the pattern for its airfield. He said he got behind it while the pilot was obviously engaged in landing, and shot it down almost on the runway. The resultant flak from the airfield defense was fierce.
Keep up the great work; look forward to your videos, Tschuss!
I saw the Me262 at the US air force Museum at WPAFB (near Dayton OH). My father's fighter squadron (52nd Fighter squadron) had a reunion there when I was at Wright Patterson. At the ME262 Several of the group recounted ( My Father, and Freddy Ohr, among them) encountering 3 ME262's on a bomber escort mission. the shot them down or retreated as they were so vastly outnumbered by P51s that they could not gain advantage. All the members of the fighter squadron agreed if they would have had enough Me262s they would have annihilated the escort and the bombers, but they were shot down like a jaguar being defeated by a school o piranha.
The ones that did get to the bombers were quite successful, the explosive cannons absolutely destroyed and as long as the pilot wouldn't try to turn fight, was almost invulnerable
Danke, nice explanation of history.
@1:21. "While the Messerschmitt Me 262 was not the first jet aircraft it was the first to be
fielded and used in combat in significant numbers". I like the narrator in the video he's very articulate and careful of what facts he' says . Lots of historians will say it was the first jet Aircraft then the British and Americans will claim they had jet aircraft too...The Germans were the first to actually fielded it in combat.
Thanks for sharing this video on one of my favorite airplanes and you did a great job! Looking forward to see your next post and by the way I just subscribed! Great....
Thanks Paolo, glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. Iconic plane so well presented
Thank you for your concise and interesting presentation. The ME262 could have been a game changer. So much technology emerged from Germany in that era. They were miniaturizing electrical circuits way before anyone ie. pencil tubes etc.
There is always 2 versions of history. What they tell you and what really happened.
I have many questions to ask you Herr Bismarck. I'm glad I found this channel. Ich liebe. Guten tag und sow gut.
Hi Chris- could you make a short video demonstrating how WW2 Luftwaffe seatbelts function please? Thanks for your consideration.
Chuck Yeager is a beast and his Twitter account is pretty cool. He talked about shooting down some FW-190's making him a double ace. He also shot down a Me 262 the first time he saw one.
Beautiful but deadly looking jet. One of aviations pioneering warplanes like the MiG 15 5 years later ...✈
Great vid, Bismarck!! But ... (16:43) "late 1944", I think
Such a great presenter of the facts!
She protec
She attac
But most importantly...
Thanks to the Flying Heritage Collection...
The Me-262 is just about back!!!!
